Two married buddies are out drinking one night when one turns to the other and says, “You know, I don’t know what else to do. Whenever I go home after we’ve been out drinking, I turn the headlights off before I get to the driveway. I shut off the engine and coast into the garage. I
take my shoes off before I go into the house, I
sneak up the Stairs, I get undressed in the bathroom. I ease into bed
and my wife STILL wakes up and yells at me for staying out so late!” His buddy looks at him and says, Well, you’re obviously taking the wrong approach.
I screech into the driveway, slam the door, storm up the steps, throw my shoes in the
closet, jump into bed, slap her on the a$$ and say, “WHO’S
HORNY”…..?!!!” and she acts like she’s sound asleep.

WOW… Has to be one of the rarest vids ever that shows Ike and Tina together… thanks lots for that BBB…

ICUMI …. There is a clone of “Janis Joplin” in the run for first place on American Got Talent this week. She is 13 years old Courtney Hayden with a style and presentation not to be believed, especially if you remember Janis Joplin… Kinda like Howie Mandel said after her first performance: ” WOW, you are not from this time, you are from a different era ” and proceeded to give her the Golden Buzzer. She basically knocked our socks off with her version of Otis Reddings version of ” Hard to Handle ” ….

also not sure if Courtney is on AGT tonight or next Tuesday…. she got the Golden Buzzer she will be one or the other …. regardless, with most of the summer stock being weekly rerun, she wont be hard to find, I’m sure …..

Once upon a time, there was a female brain cell which mistakenly wandered into a man’s head. She looked around nervously but it was all empty and quiet. “Hello?” she cried, but no answer. “Is there anyone here?” she cried a little louder, but still no answer.
Now the female brain cell started to feel alone and scared and yelled, “HELLO, IS THERE
ANYONE HERE?” Finally, she heard a voice from far, far away,
“Hello……… we’re down here………”

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a
sudden, he said out loud, “Lord, grant me one wish.” The sky clouded
above his head and in a booming voice, the Lord said, “Because you have
tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.”

The man said, “Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I
want.”

The Lord said, “Your request is very materialistic. Think of the
enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required
to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would
take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for
worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish, a
wish you think would honor and glorify me.”

The man thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, “Lord, I wish
that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what
they are thinking when they give the silent treatment, why they cry,
what they mean when they say ‘nothing’, and how I can make a woman truly
happy.”

A bartender is sitting behind the bar on a typical
day, when the door bursts open and in come four exuberant blondes. They come up to the bar, order five
bottles of champagne and ten glasses, take their
order over and sit down at a large table. The corks are popped, the glasses are filled and they begin
toasting and chanting, “51 days, 51 days, 51 days!”
Soon, three more blondes arrive, take up their drinks and the chanting grows. “51 days, 51 days, 51days!”
Two more blondes show up and soon their voices are joined in raising the roof. “51 days, 51 days, 51 days!
Finally, the tenth blonde comes in with a picture under her arm. She walks over to the
table, sets the picture in the middle and the table erupts. Up jump the others, they begin dancing around the table, exchanging high-fives, all the while chanting “51 days, 51
days, 51 days!” The bartender can’t contain his curiosity any longer, so he walks over to the table. There in the center is a beautifully framed child’s puzzle of the Cookie Monster. When the frenzy dies down a little bit, the bartender asks one of the blondes, “What’s all the chanting and celebration about?” The blonde who brought in the picture pipes in, “Everyone thinks that blondes are dumb and they make fun of us. So, we decided to set the record straight. Ten of us got together, bought that puzzle and put it together.
The side of the box said 2-4 years, but we put it together in 51 days!”

Well , my friends , I need to ask for your prayers and good thoughts again…my daughter Kelly has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer….they seem to have found it early but I am afraid I do not have the faith I used to have in doctors…thanks again for being here.

O My connie… I am so sorry to hear this…. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your daughter both..

Please, make sure each times she has blood work done, make extra sure the Lab does urinalysis when she had blood work done… My Chemo Doc tells me he can tell if cancer returned any where in my body from Urinalysis numbers… I make sure the Lad does a Urinalysis every time I have blood work done…..and some times i have to ask even though its included in the order….. Go Figure …

I would likewise advise everyone here when you have a physical, typically it’s preceded by blood work at a local lab. Make sure your doctor includes Urinalysis… Even if you have to ask for it, do that. No one cares more about your health than you…..period

Now she tells us I could have stayed in bed but I have had two cups of espresso, no turning back.
His father always headed to the farm, Junior already has livestock and a lot of property to “take care of”. But I’ll guess she has him on an ankle bracelet and small allowance for daily expenses.

True that,, but Senior had a dozer to play with….. Jr don’t have one… yet, I don’t think …..

Ever seen the promo about Senior at the farm, him herding a huge 2000lbs bull into a trailer, the bull pays attention to Senior,, now that’s hard to do ….. also why they called him ” The Intimidator” …. life goes on

Reminds me of people I’ve worked with over the years who are “gym rats” who would never help us to unload trucks and they used the elevator and would cuss if it was out of order as they had to use the stairs instead.

Junior has always been a pitch man for NA$CRAP.
Even when they are dead wrong about something, he always takes their side publicly.

I think that he doesn’t always agree with what they do, but puts on/fakes his support because he likes the money, is a “company man” and knows that his “blessing” or not weilds a lot of power of public opinion and can make or break NA$CRAP because of his popularity.
I’d think more of Junior if he did like fat Tony and hammered them with due criticism when they deserved it.
But we all know that there is no free speech allowed in criticism of NA$CRAP or the drunk doper King Brian would throw the penalty and fine smackdown on him like they do to all in their “sport” business.

UMM For Jr. one has to realize he no longer has Kelley guiding him (Amy does that now & that leave a lot to be desired in NASCAR, she is not a fan)… plus ” Can’t have two cooks in the same kitchen ” so to speak..

IMO Dale Jr intro to the booth has gotten him started with the wrong influence . The entire NBC team make a race sound more like the WWF, not Motor Sports….. One only has to look at Mike Joy and/or Ken Squire to understand how to accomplish that task without sounding like the WWF ..

Of all of the race families in Virginia, I like the Burton clan.. For personal reason I keep up with Tabitha (Wards wife, Jeffery Mom) but have to say Jeff Burton is the absolute worst in the booth, ever…. Jr is followings suite in that both seem to be in competition as to who can say the most about nothing in the shortest amount of time, then Rick chimes in with his volume at 10+ (WWF style) which imo is insulting and degrading to Motor Sports Fans everywhere….

IMO Junior is hurting his brand and would do well to look at Jeff Gorgon as a roll model for this transition ….. but that’s just me ……..

PS: Jeff Pooh might be another member of that Buy Out Consortium in my fantasy mind …. just saying

Thanks for the post BBB… But I’ve been here b4, honest…. fingers crossed here this is the year….. finally ……
But OMG the proportions look amazing and yet again another world class GT ……… WOOO-WHOOO FINALLY…….. I LOVE IT

Agree BBB, JGR allows his players to be destructive for the sport… Especially so when one considers Cry Baby once drove Rick and was let go for just that reason….. My perspective was purely from “Who has the deepest Pockets/most to loose ” perspective if the France Family let things get so out of hand accumulating more debt than the NASCAR asset can cover….

To be honest, I expect to see someone not get paid for a win or such..by NASCAR….in the near future…

O, and Rulez… Trust me, with how NASCAR book value would be measured today, Rick, Roger or Joe could put together a finance plan and buy NASCAR in a hart beat….if they wanted it …… Gibbs is the least wealthy and I have to think Toyota would float that loan to Gibbs…… Financially, Toyota can kinda do what they want …..

True about Gibbs (aka Toyotas face in America) but I stand by my comment that he/they are not a fit with AMERICAN stock car racing and his past actions are not what a group trying to gain traction would need.

That comment assumes that the new league wants racing fans not wrassling (spelled that way on purpose) fans. The Busch brothers and Hampster should not be licensed. And a couple of others like Kez and Harvick should sign a gag order before being allowed to compete. IMO

LOL I hear ya 5 by 5 on that one ,,, alone with several in the booth that have no clue. Jr included….. There are times I’ve listen to a race and just knew I was listening to the WWF but to that end I sent a memo to self: Good Luck with that one …..

Sad article. I agree 100% about third (and often second generation) destroying business. Most just don’t see the value of anything handed to them. Rarely works. Founders love the sport/biz/whatever. Following generations love the money.

This happened with my previous employer where I had worked for 23 years then quit.

The founders are brothers who turned their company over to their two sons when they had retired. The son’s “silver spoon” born and raised infinite greed ran it right into the ground, even stole from me. After I had caught them, I had no choice but to quit and move on because there was no future in working for crooks and people who I could not trust.

They did not have the basic due respect that their fathers had for anything. Not for the employees or their customers.

It ain’t worth buying out for the price that they are asking and all three of those companies couldn’t even make the down payment.

It’s like a vintage car that has been ragged out and wrecked way too many times by the drunk driver. Ain’t worth the price of a trashed out Volkswagen yet being sold as a brand new Roll Royce or a Bentley.

I think the best way out is for the major American car team owners start a new series with help from the manufacturers and compete at non ISC venues. I’m sure many track owners would buy in. The” Nascar Titanic” is barely worth its salvage value these days.

That’s a true point, not to be left out of the Price Point conversation…. The France Family (Brian’s sister & uncle own all the shares) owning NASCAR may be a drain (without a major sponsor). I doubt any one with real money, even in today’s economy would want to step up to this now tainted plate… I see opportunity here with hooks into the ISC venues on the cheap, as a function of the sale contract… Given a total divorce from France family, that alone could bring new blood in the Sponsorship Community via Rick, Roger or Joe….. IMHO

OK .. if JGR is in fact TRD in disguise…. I just always seen those three as independently wealthy (1B+ each) with a significant investment in NASCAR’s success and future…… Lots at stake here ….. IDK ???

Although I see your point I see Gibbs as the frontman used to bring Toyota in and if that is not bad enough he has allowed his drivers to act like total asses for years. Gibbs would be bad for a venture that is trying to divorce itself from what is bad about Nascar. Just my humble opinion.

Under the original NASCAR rules, Turdota would have never ever been allowed into the sport because they have never produced a push rod valve train V8 in any of their production vehicles and they still do not to this very day.

I don’t see how anyone could be as clueless as Brainless, but if he allowed the stuff that has happened the last few years as Vice Chairman he could be. It will take a full change of the management and a lot of that leak repair spray stuff fromTV to right that ship it is taking on water nearly as quickly as the Titanic.
